The New Orleans Saints injury report Thursday was essentially unchanged from Wednesday. The notable exception was linebacker Scott Shanle who was listed as a limited participant at practice with a hamstring.

Two other players - safety Roman Harper (hamstring), defensive end Will Smith (groin) - were also listed as limited by Coach Sean Payton. Neither Harper nor Smith offered any predictions on their status for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, although Harper put his status at, "85, 90," percent.

"I feel good," Smith said as he walked through the locker room. Asked if he was good to go, he simply smiled and said, "you'll have to ask the coach."

Running back Pierre Thomas did not practice, still nursing an ankle sprain that has kept him out of the team's last two games. Payton said Thomas' status is day-to-day. The swelling is more or less under control, but Thomas's ability to change direction or push off the turf remains unclear.

Cornerback Randall Gay also missed another day of practice. Following the Arizona game, Gay suffered headaches, a symptom thought to be related to a concussion sustained in the game against Atlanta. Gay's status is also day-to-day. Payton said Gay didn't endure another hit that would have complicated his physical condition, but that the injury is such it must be monitored carefully.
